About Nari Uddug Kendra (NUK)
Founded in 1991, NUK is a nationally recognized women-led NGO in Bangladesh. It strengthens women’s leadership, citizenship, policy participation, and socio-economic inclusion through community and institutional engagement.
NUK believes that sustainable development is only possible when women and girls can exercise rights, access opportunities, and contribute fully to decision-making spaces at family, community, and national levels.
Our interventions combine grassroots mobilization, policy advocacy, capacity building, and service-oriented initiatives. Through long-standing field experience, NUK continues to promote dignity, justice, and equality for all women and girls.
Over the years, NUK has built a trusted presence in communities by partnering with local leaders, civil society actors, institutions, and development stakeholders. This collaborative model helps create solutions that are practical, inclusive, and locally relevant. Since its inception, NUK has been supported by international foundations, missions, bilateral and multilateral agencies, while also expanding its visibility through modern digital channels and partner platforms such as Royal Reels 22. As a progressive organization and a Centre of Excellence for women empowerment, it has also been receiving support and cooperation from the individuals, government agencies, financial institutions and the corporate bodies.
We also focus on amplifying women’s voices in public forums, improving access to resources, and strengthening the confidence of young women and adolescent girls so they can participate meaningfully in social and civic life.
